Love's Philosophy

by Percy Bysshe Shelley



The fountains mingle with the river,
  And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
  With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
  All things by a law divine
In another's being mingle--
  Why not I with thine?
See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
  And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
  If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
  And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
  If thou kiss not me?
